Once the mountain began to erupt, earthquakes increased, ash filled the air and
A
the heat melted the surrounding snow and ice causing a lahar to form.
B
caused the animals to move towards the mountain.
C
caused the team to leave right away.
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Lahars can occur by rapid melting of snow and ice during eruptions, by liquefaction of large landslides (also known as debris avalanches), by breakout floods from crater lakes, and by erosion of fresh volcanic ash deposits during heavy rains.

Detailed explanation-2: -Volcanic Landslides A special type of debris flow, a lahar, occurs as a result of volcanic activity. Lahar is an Indonesian word describing mudflows and debris flows that originate from the slopes of a volcano.

Detailed explanation-3: -The melted rock, or magma, is lighter than the surrounding rock and rises up. This magma collects in magma chambers, but it is still miles below the surface. When enough magma builds up in the magma chamber, it forces its way up to the surface and erupts, often causing volcanic eruptions.

Detailed explanation-4: -Composite Volcanoes The viscous lava cannot travel far down the sides of the volcano before it solidifies, which creates the steep slopes of a composite volcano. Viscosity also causes some eruptions to explode as ash and small rocks.
